With this port-intensive itinerary, you’ll need to pace yourself carefully. I have full-day excursion on every port - this cruise feels more like an expedition rather than a vacation. We had one sea in the middle of the cruise and it was greatly appreciated to have a break. 

Haha. Yes. Last year we did a 14 day on the NCL Star with 14 ports and loved it but came home exhausted.

thanks for the info

This’s amazing itinerary. NCL doesn’t offer this very often. Leaving from DR instead of Miami means you can skips a few sea days so you can visit more islands in one cruise. 

Yes sorry I meant early 2026.  Love no sea days. Thanks for the pics and info.

Dhanakorn- looking at this Sky itinerary for 

next year

any insight on other ports? Love the idea of a port everyday

would love to see a review after your trip

thanks

Planning a 2025 Rhine River Cruise- 

trying to miss crowds and heat

should be go beginning of April or Mid to late October? 
why? 

Does the sky offer the thermal spa package?

Thank u

Thanks seattleGTfan

would you say the atmosphere on both is similar? Hearing that Ama might be a bit more formal 

Sakigrmcam.  Thanks for your thoughts on Ama we have narrowed it down to 2 and deciding between the 2.  We are really excited as well

have a fun trip

Thanks Fran. Appreciate your insights

Thanks RobINMN

appreciate your insight

Thanks for all your advice. Much appreciated

Thank u rhiannon84

We will be flying out of Brussels so we will have 3 days after leaving Amsterdam.

so do u suggest we day trip to Antwerp from Brussels 1 day? And then stay in Ghent to see Brugges?

or should be stay in one place and then train to Brussels airport?

would love to see the palaces

Thanks for sharing this great insight.

It Confirms my 1st choice based on these comparisons.  
 

We are couple in late 50’s looking at Amawaterways and Avalon Rhine River Cruises Basel to Amsterdam similar itineraries for our 1st river cruise in April .

We have cruised alot on many different Ocean Cruises 

which would u choose and why?

We are getting off ship in Amsterdam and want to spend a few days in Belgium(Antwerp, Ghent, Brugge and then Brussels to fly home.

Where would you suggest we stay? Should we stay in one place and train to these as day trips or move around hotels?

It will be in April

any advice is appreciated

Thanks

We were on this same itinerary in February...and I just recently tossed the Patters! Sorry! Were you looking for something in particular? Perhaps I can help in that manner. 

Jeannie- thinking of doing this partial and since u mentioned you did in this past Feb.

having trouble getting info on going thru locks.

did u go thru new locks for a little bit on the ship?

then did u do excursion in Colon that night? 
we have never cruised princess or panama canal but have cruised on many other lines.
we are middle aged couple

Thank you

New to HAL

looking at a cruise for next year

just learned that if u book spa room the thermal package is not included. Does anyone know how much the package is on 12 day cruise?

Hi we are looking at 8-10 day panama canal cruises in 

Early 2025.

need help understanding if the shorter cruises actually go thru the locks at all

or just to colon and limon and not actually thru the locks

any panama canal advise would be appreciated

thanks

Our’s was same started in Trieste and ended in Lisbon.

it was 15 day on Star last month and it was fabulous - everyday was wonderful and loved the Star it was quiet and very clean

you will have a wonderful trip as well!

We were just there last month

In Trieste we stayed at doubletree great location to walk everywhere and short taxi to cruise terminal we did not want to drag our bags you could walk to it though very close to city center.

make sure u go to Miramare Castle in Trieste its beautiful.

Thank u all

Any idea when the 2025 London itineraries will be open for new bookings?
